Jensen Meat, a Southern California-based processor of ground beef, is currently expanding both its facilities and its team to manage co-packing opportunities for plant-based beef alternatives. To accelerate production, Jensen has already broken ground on its new processing plant, which will also create new jobs when complete.
Jensen Meat’s facility will allow the company to pursue new partnerships, providing opportunities to test new processes and increase national production of plant-based products. Jensen’s new plant, which will include multiple capabilities such as blending, cooking, dry mixing, emulsifying, and hydrating, in addition to bulk and patty forming for food service and retail finished products, will also help drive costs down for smaller companies.
